- Franklin Robert Adams (August 31, 1933 - January 4, 1990) was an American science fiction and fantasy writer. He was formerly a career soldier. Best known for his "Horseclans" series which he wrote under the pseudonym Robert Adams.
An early pioneer of the post-holocaust novel the Horseclans series exhibit a painstaking and detailed world view with plenty of plot follow-through. Prospective readers should note that many of the Horseclans books are interlinked and may make sense only when read in order.
Hallmarks of Adams' style include a focus on violent, non-stop action, meticulous detail in matters historical and military, strong description, and digressions expounding on various subjects from a conservative and libertarian viewpoint.
